Parker 6-2 Ftx-s Steel Flared Tube Connector 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 6-2 FTX-S is a steel flared tube connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid system applications. It features a 37-degree flare seat on one end and a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread on the other, creating a leak-resistant connection between flared tubing and threaded ports. The fitting accepts 3/8 inch tube OD and measures 1.24 inches in overall length. Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure and capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500 degrees F, this connector is built for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the primary installers in both industrial and commercial settings.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic lines, fuel systems, refrigeration piping, and other fluid-carrying circuits where a reliable flare-to-male-thread transition is required. The 37-degree flare geometry conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, making it compatible with standard SAE 37-degree flare tubing assemblies. It is commonly used in commercial HVAC equipment, hydraulic machinery, and industrial fluid distribution systems where threaded steel fittings are specified.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare seat conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards
• Flare x MNPTF end configuration allows flared tubing to connect directly to NPTF-threaded ports
• Rated to 6000 psi maximum dynamic working pressure
• Steel construction withstands temperatures up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)
• Compact overall length of 1.24 inches for tight-space installations
• Meets SAE 070102, SAE J514, and ISO 8434-2 specifications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard SAE 37-degree flared tubing assemblies with a 3/8 inch tube OD and NPTF-threaded port connections. Suitable for hydraulic, fuel, and fluid systems requiring SAE J514-compliant fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. De-pressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure flare ends are properly formed and free of burrs before assembly to prevent leaks at the seat. Consult applicable codes, including IFGC or ASME B31 piping standards, for installation requirements specific to the fluid and pressure service involved.
